Introduction of VVPATs
The poll body is introducing voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) for verification of voting in all polling booths in the country for the first time in general elections - VVPATs have previously been used in Assembly elections and bypolls. These machines are being used to bring more transparency in the system, as directed by the Supreme Court.
VVPAT machines, attached to EVMs, dispense a slip with the name of the candidate and his/her party symbol each time a vote is cast. This slip appears on a small window for seven seconds and then drops into a sealed container. Hence, matching EVM and VVPAT results dispel fears about EVMs being 'hacked' to favour a particular political party.
New Vigilant Citizen app
The Election Commission has launched a new Vigilant Citizen app - cVIGIL - ahead of the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha Elections. The app has been launched for citizens across the country to help them report any violation of code of conduct - say, incidents of intimidation or inducement - on their Android mobiles during polling. The app is available on the Play Store but will work from the date of notification of election.
Eagle eye on online nomination
The CEC yesterday also announced the steps that the Election Commission will monitor online campaigning. In order to fight the menace of fake news, all candidates standing for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections will have to declare their social media accounts to the Commission as part of their affidavit at the time of filing nominations.
